Rooms are nice, mngment could care less

The rooms here are nice, especially if you move into a newer unit. They come furnished with a dishwasher, refridgerator, microwave, air conditioning, and heat. The bad news is the management lies to you, and could basically care less about your problems once your signed in. I fell into the dubious situation where I had roommates who were intolerable. Of course management said they could "work it out" before I signed, but basically since it's not in the contract they don't care. Since there will always be people signing up because of their convenient location they don't have to worry about resigning anyone. I suppose it would have been a better experience if I had good rommates. The security guards are a joke. When I first moved in they had the security guards finish installing the piping under the sink, and guess what' They didn't finish the job. My roommate went to turn on the water and it flooded the entire bathroom. Nice. Parking is decent, although there are lots of maniacs with their stupid trucks who like to do stunts in the parking lot, so maybe it's not all that safe. It's also somewhat of a party environment. It's not really out of hand, but a lot of times there's excess noise and drunk people outside. Part of college I guess. Also be warned: check your utility bills and make sure they are not EST. My roommates were stupid and wouldn't check the meter; the utility companies will try to screw you. Maintenance is not bad, but they will take their time (took 2 weeks to get a lock on my door fixed). Security guards are also stupid about handing out parking passes. They make everyone line up in the laundry room where it's about 90 degrees, and then because of their limited grasp of elementary logic, they take about a half hour each handing someone out a pass.
